I think the usual procedure would be stay enrolled at the college you are at and arrange with them to have course materials sent to you electronically, perhaps using Blackboard or something. Not really sure though, homeschooling is pretty unconventional in the UK.

Well if your parents have a license to educate you at their free will, then yeah, you can be home-schooled. But home-schooling is for people who have been bullied, or don't know what to do anymore, or just can't cope with school and feel like committing suicide.

Contrary to the belief of some here... Homeschooling is not rare in the UK. However, I'm in the US and don't know the answers to your specific questions. I can at least point you to the right people to ask: http://www.education-otherwise.org/ Education Otherwise should be able to handle any questions you may have. If you can't find the answers browsing their site (or just don't have the time to hunt) then you can use it to contact a local group and ask a live person: http://www.education-otherwise.org/localgroups.htm Good luck!

Its Quite Easy But You have to go Through The Basic Rules And Guidelines if you do it illegally you could get into serious trouble. use this web cite and followed the rules you have to call a few people up and get recommendation www.education-otherwise.org make shure you read it all. once you have done it all you want get sent work because you are not registered to a school. the only way you could get sent work is if you have to right money to have a privet home tutor which cost around 50-60 pounds a hour. you would have a visitor come after a few months to see how you are doing if you have no produced enough work you will get sent back to school or your mom and dad could get sent to court. i hope i helped.

The simple answer first. Technically Home Education doesn't really apply to you, as you pointed out you're over school age, so I really wouldn't bother with any of the home ed organisations. Legally you can walk out of FE college any time you like and you don't need anyone to teach you. That said, given that you're already over a term into your second year your college will probably already have you booked to take the exams with them. I would go and talk to your year tutor or someone similar about continuing your studies without physically attending but still taking the exams with them. There's no real practical reason why you shouldn't be able to do that, but the college will no doubt take some convincing that you're going to do the work. They can be fairly flexible, when I was doing my A Levels my college let me take an O Level in a subject they didn't even teach because I convinced them I could do it by myself. Something else to consider is that if your parents are still getting Child Benefit for you they are likely to loose it if you stop going to college. Students who have been home educated before school leaving age are usually accepted for benefits up to 18 but they will probably see you leaving college as leaving full time education.
